How Does Solarize Irvine Work? 

We encourage residents to attend our solar education workshops by signing up for Solarize Irvine to learn more about going solar.

  • Residents will be connected to our approved installers, selected by our committee of community members, where the installers will determine the suitability of your home for a solar installation and provide an initial financial analysis.

  • If you remain interested, installers will conduct an assessment site and prepare a detailed preliminary proposal for your home.

  • The installers will then discuss system size, cost, equipment, and financing options, including the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit.

  • At this point, you choose an installer, decide whether to approve the estimate and sign a contract. To participate, you must finalize this decision before the campaign deadline.

  • Your selected installer will next complete the necessary engineering, design work, and permitting—including HOA approval, and schedule installation for your project.

And with that, you start saving money on your electricity bill and powering your home with clean energy!
